Victorian Vandergrift Museum and Historical Society
The Victorian Vandergrift Museum & Historical Society was organized in 1990. A non-profit corporation, it is devoted to preserving the history of Vandergrift and its “suburbs”, East, North and West Vandergrift. The society is housed in the old Sherman school, built in 1911. Our collection focuses on Vandergrift businesses, the mill and life in the town throughout the years. We also have the George Nasser Memorial Library, which features a genealogy collection that covers Westmoreland and Armstrong counties and contains many useful references for family historians. In addition, the Goldstrom Memorial Hall next door to the museum showcases the Veterans’ Memorial Hall, a collection of military items related to our area. Churches of the area are also highlighted here, as the building was formerly the Free Gospel Missionary Society. We are closed during the months of January and February. March hours will be determined by March 1. April thru December, we are open Thursdays from 10 am to 2 pm. If you want to visit outside normal hours, please call (724) 681-6667 to schedule an appointment. No charge for admission although a donation is appreciated.
